The 034Motorsport 390mmx34mm 2-Piece Floating Front Brake Rotor Upgrade Kit for the Gen 1 & 1.5 Audi R8 is a complete replacement brake rotor and caliper spacer, designed to work flawlessly with the factory front calipers found on the Gen 1 & 1.5 Audi R8.
By increasing the diameter of the front rotor, the factory caliper is able to provide greater braking force. This larger front rotor also has an increased cooling capacity over the factory-sized rotor.
Weighing in at approximately 23.9bs, each rotor reduces rotational weight by .6lbs on each corner over the factory 24.5lb rotors! While reducing weight, the rotor retains proper thermal mass in the rings to adequately capture, and dissipate heat
The central hat portion of the 034Motorsport rotor is made of 6061-T6 aircraft specification aluminum. The disc is constructed out of a proprietary metal alloy that can withstand immense braking temperatures while holding form allowing hard street use and long days at the track allowing you to drive versus working on the car. From the factory, the same rotor is used on both sides of the R8, leading to one side having incorrect venting and cooling effects. The 034Motorsport 2-Piece Floating Front Brake Rotor Upgrade Kit utilizes 72 directionally curved vanes properly oriented for each side of the vehicle to forcefully flow cool air through both rotors to dissipate heat equally.
The face of the rotor utilizes J-Slot slots to clean the pad and surface of contaminants and allows hot pad outgassing, all while reducing overall braking noise compared to a traditional slotted rotor.
The rotor and hat have a floating mount system that utilizes high-strength alloy steel bobbins. The pins take the load from braking actions while maintaining the axial and radial float between the hat and disc, allowing for safe expansion and contraction from heat.
